WHEN MY NAME WAS KEOKO

Linda Sue Park, . . Dell/Yearling, $5.50 (199pp) ISBN 978-0-440-41944-0

"A brother and sister alternate as narrators in this well-constructed novel, which takes place from 1940–1945 in Japanese-occupied Korea," wrote PW in a starred review. "Through the use of the shifting narrators, Park subtly points up the differences between male and female roles in Korean society and telling details provide a clear picture of the siblings and their world." Ages 10-up. (Jan.)
